Description
Features and benefits
- Exceptionally wide angular range 40˚ – 78˚ enables measurements of small organic molecules and large proteins, but also metallic nanoparticles and cells. One scan encompasses both environments: gas and liquid and enables to separate bulk effect in line using PureKinetics™
- Parallel injections to 2 fluidic channels
- Controlled liquid flow conditions with peristaltic pump
- Manual filling of injection loops required
- Optionally instrument can be equipped with up to 4 different wavelengths measured from each liquid channel enabling detection of thickness and refractive index or conformation changes
- 200 OTSO is sold with a basic software package of MP-SPR Navi™ Control and DataViewer for convenient control of the instrument and basic analysis of the results. Advanced analysis modules are optional: MP-SPR Navi™ LayerSolver to determine thickness and RI from multiple wavelength measurements and TraceDrawer for MP-SPR Navi™ – a powerful software for the determination of affinity, kinetic constants and more
- MP-SPR Navi™ instruments utilize optical RI matching elastomer and therefore, sensors are very easy to exchange and remove for further analysis with other methods such as AFM or microscopy
- Open design enables convenient access to the easily removable flow cell, as well as to tubing, pump and injection valves
- Complement with electrochemistry, high chemical resistant and gas flow cells as well as fluorescence setup provides combined or validation measurements
- The instrument enables attachment of a separate autosampler, pump, degasser or even own microfluidic sample preprocessing cartridge

SPR NAVI™ SPECIFICATIONS
ANALYTICAL PERFORMANCE |
|
Measured property | SPR Navi™ instruments measure light intensity reflected from the sensor surface (absolute measurement), while traditional SPR instruments measure light shift (only a relative measurement). |
Refractive index (RI) range | 1.00 - 1.40 (Can be extended using additional wavelength option) Using the same optics (prism and sensor slides) and in the same automated scan. |
Dynamic range | 38 000 mdeg |
Noise level | 0.3 µRIU (short term) 1 µRIU corresponds to 1 pg/mm² surface coverage of a typical protein. 100-fold improvement using Selectively Amplified Surface Plasmon Resonance. |
Working range | kon = 10E3 < ka < 10E8 M-1 s-1 koff = 0.1 < kd < 10E-7 s-1 KD = 10E-3 - 10E-12 M-1 |
Fastest sampling rate | from 4 ms in Fixed Angle advanced timing mode |
Temperature control | 15-45oC (ambient +20/-7oC) |
Note on working range: Values ka and kd are also dependent of each other, as well as the Bmax (binding maximum) values of the assay at the time, so in principle it is completely sample dependent range and the given ranges are just a guideline.
Extending working range: The range can be extended with careful experimental design. Please refer to J. Mol. Recognit. 2005; 18: 307–317 for more information.
Another option to extend the working range is Selectively Amplified Surface Plasmon Resonance (SAMP-SPR) technology that can be applied with SPR Navi™ instruments having additional wavelength (785 nm). SAMP-SPR is ideally suited to measure low concentrations of analyte in complex biological mixtures, with 100 times increased sensitivity and significantly reduced interference from background non-specific binding. This technology can be used to extend the range of affinity.

See how to measure thickness and refractive index of thin inorganic layers using MP-SPR!
Thin metal films from 3.7 Ångströms up to 100 nanometers thick can be measured. Transparent films can be measured up tens of micrometers in thickness. Besides thickness and refractive index, MP-SPR measures also interactions with different gas or liquid samples, including ethanol or toluene vapors, solvents, but also plasma and serum. This allows real-time measurements of antifouling capabilities of thin film coatings as well as measurements of biocompatibility.
Contact your local distribution partner or BioNavis for further information.
Real-time conformation changes can be measured for instance upon change of temperature, pH, electric potential or light trigger. MP-SPR Navi™ 200 OTSO is a semi-automated MP-SPR instrument with 2-channel fluidics. It can be combined with different techniques including electrochemistry and fluorescence. 200 OTSO can be equipped with up to 4 wavelengths in the same channel, allowing reliable measurements of thickness, refractive index and dispersion coefficient.
